Prisoner Samer’s mother passed away on Nov. 2, 2017, due to an illness, after spending 29 years of her life at the gates of the occupation’s prisons since the arrest of her son Samer, who was arrested again in 2014 after serving 25 years of imprisonment and being released as part of the Shalit [prisoner exchange] deal in 2011, and his previous sentence was renewed (he was rearrested for breaching the conditions of his release –Ed.).”

Samer Al-Mahroum – Palestinian terrorist member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) who, together with terrorists Omar Al-Naif and Hamza Al-Naif, stabbed and murdered Israeli civilian Eliyahu Amadi in the Old City of Jerusalem on Nov. 15, 1986. Al-Mahroum was sentenced to a life sentence; he was released in 2011 in the Shalit prisoner exchange deal brokered between the Israeli government and Hamas, but was later rearrested and had his sentence reinstated for violating the conditions of his release.
